    He gave her another spoon of water and she coughed another kitten. He gave her another spoon of water and she coughed up a third kitten.
    He called up the king and his wife and showed them what she coughed up. Then she got better and why she coughed up the kittens was because she drank milk out of a vessel that the cat was licking his whiskers off.
